Ordered online, it was ready by the time I drove there. They were working hard to make all the orders. The carnitas is fantastic! They load up the meat in the tacos. I liked having cheese on it. The rice and beans were also very flavorful. I'd recommend taking it to go because there isn't many seating options. read more

Carnitas Don Alfredo Bensenville - Cena de Tacos / Taco Dinner - Tacos Near Me - Bensenville, Illinois

This place is a horrid. In all my years of getting my Canritas from Don Alfredo, I have never been to a restaurant that has horrendous service. The workers don't seem to care about their customers since they don't ask what we want, every time I go here they always give me the same salsa that I don't like. Not only that my last visit and probably the last time I will go there they had the audacity to give me re-heated food. The place seems ok, it's somewhat maintained properly but the workers don't seem to give a flying fuck about anyone just some P.O.S. read more

Carnitas Don Alfredo is well known for there Carnitas and they do not disappoint! Their main location is in Melrose Park and would be worth the drive so its nice they branched out closer to Bensenville! They have alot of authentic Mexican dishes with some just available weekends Only like Pozole and Menudo. I go for the Carnitas mainly and get it by the Lbs(11.99/Lbs) with hand made tortillas made right on the spot! In orders of 5 for 1.99. They give you side on cilantro and onions with limes to go with it. They also have very good Hibiscus water and Horchata. Place is not too big so seating is limited but people are in and out often, and they know how to get the line moving even if it seems abit long. Specially on the weekends is there busiest but staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely one of my favorites Carnitas spots in the area. read more

The bathroom was filthy and no paper towels. Shoes sticking to floor. Didn't see any cleanup happening in the food prep area nor in the dining area, it sure looked like it needed attention, though. Not sure how this place gets a 93/100 health score. There were so many workers crammed into a small space. 4 eating lunch at the corner table, 5 behind the counter, and more voices in the back. And yet, too occupied chatting to hear customer orders and get them right. All that said, we've been enjoying here since they first opened, convenient location to us. The carñitas are ok. Sad to observe the steady decline in housekeeping. read more

They corrected it. I was wrong to be so mean about it. No they aren't perfect but they're the perfect little neighborhood spicy porker spot. Don't miss. read more

Carnitas Don Alfredo Bensenville - Tacos Near Me - Bensenville, Illinois

Thank you! Finally authentic Mexican tacos in Bensenville. Salsa is good (green & red), handmade tortillas are good, and almost twice as big as regular taco tortilla. I have been there couple times already, and both times food has been perfect. The carnitas tacos are loaded with meat! The place could use a little tidying up or cleaning up-keep, but is small and always busy & have also have gone at the end of the day both times. I will be trying their to-go carnitas by the lb next as seems like a better deal. My new favorite! Finalmente un buen y auténtico lugar/tacos Mexicano en Bensenville. Seguiré yendo a probar de todo! read more

I had an uber delivery and was very disappointed with the fried pork mix torta. Most of the meat were like tendons or ligaments - not edible. Gross!!!! read more

My next stop is a very popular Mexican restaurant that recently opened up at a location near my home in Bensenville. The place is called Carnitas Don Alfredo in Bensenville. It is funny to me that this is the first time I am trying Carnitas Don Alfredo. I grew up in Melrose Park and that is where the original location started. I just never got around to trying them out. They also are located in Melrose Park at a very busy congested intersection of Lake Street and 25th. Parking in that area was always a nightmare so I was excited that it came to my area. Hopefully alleviating all of the above annoyances, it would be more enjoyable. I went during the opening week of the restaurant. They were setting up something that looked like it was for a commercial with balloons and what not. I went during lunchtimeand it was extremely busy. There is a large parking lot, but it was packed again and I'll make it easy to park. I had to park at the far end of the lot and walk to the restaurant. The mix of patrons that came in were a 50-50 mix of Spanish-speaking customers and non-Spanish-speaking customers. The workers all spoke Spanish as their first language. That is the only thing that was holding up the line, trying to convey your order to the workers. I was told that this place has the best Carnitas. I did my order as follows: one Carne Asada taco, one Carnitas taco, and one Chicharrón taco. I also asked for a jalapeño pepper on the side. I also ordered a Horchata drink. From when I ordered to when I had my food, it was about 15 minutes. I brought the food to my car and found a nice spot to eat close by. The three tacos were all together in a single container, and the red sauce from the Chicharrón's saturated all the other tacos. I took one bite and I was in heaven. This was the single best bite I have ever had in my experience eating tacos. It was so good. I called my friends and family to tell them to go here and put in my exact order. You will be blown away with how good these are. Fast forward to a couple days later I again was having a craving for these tacos. I wanted them the same way that I had them last time. I explained to the girl behind the counter, but I wanted three tacos in the same container and the red sauce from the Chicharrón's to saturate the tacos. I received my tacos when I opened up the bag. They were all separate with no red sauce, and the tacos were drier than the desert. It was a complete opposite of the experience I had just a few days ago. These tacos were so dry I could barely eat them. The meat was dry and the tortillas were dry. It was not pleasurable. A week has now passed and I wanted to give them another try to see if they could re-create what I experienced. In my first visit this time though I DoorDashed. There was a section where I could put in my notes what I wanted exactly done to my tacos. I meticulously wrote exactly how I wanted my tacos to be. I paid the exorbitant fees for DoorDash to deliver my food. When I received my food again it was completely wrong. The red sauce was not on the tacos. The tacos again were so dry that salsa could not save them. I do not know if there is a language barrier, or just complete laziness, or just lack of care, but I do not know how to convey any more how I'd like my order. They just completely ignore it and give me whatever they want to give me. If you would've asked me about this place after my first experience, I would've said it was an easy 10 out of 10 rating. I have now given this place two subsequent tries, and they have let me down in both instances. Maybe it is because I am a gringo and do not speak Spanish. Maybe my Spanish speaking subscribers will have better luck. Go check this place out for yourself and give it a try when it's good. Because of my last two experiences here I have to give sadly a rating 4.7 out of 10. read more

Excellent authentic carnitas. The pork in the green sauce was also excellent. The tortillas were fresh and the sauces that went with the carnitas were perfect. read more

I'm visiting from California, a family friend brought us to this restaurant and I asked what is it. They old me they serve pork. I'm very picky when it comes to pork. But when I started to eat my tacos I kid you know that flavor on this pork was so good I over ate. I would recommend this place. Very delicious and the costumer service was great! Next time I visit I'm definitely coming back here. read more
